“In the complaint filed in the Eastern District of Virginia, we seek to take action to disrupt the activities of cybercriminals who have developed tools specifically designed to bypass the security guardrails of prolific AI services, including Microsoft, in order to create offensive and harmful content.” the company said.
The service, which operated from July to September 2024, contained detailed instructions on how to use tools to create illegal content. The attackers allegedly used undocumented Microsoft APIs and compromised API keys to access the company’s Azure servers, bypassing built-in security controls designed to “block the creation of malicious content.”
Microsoft also sued seven people who allegedly used the service.
